If you watch my film, you might get a few tips about keeping the gate clear of debris. Once you get swords and twigs lying around where you're blowing stuff up, your whole gate army can die slowly and mysteriously through multiple shaving nicks.

Also, try and keep the gate clear for your leader unit to get through. Pathfinding around the gate area is a total pig: you think you're heading back past the safety line, then your FG suddenly veers right, then back and forth a bit, taking a few arrows and getting a punch or two from a trow, then crosses back home. The more to one side you can get your archs and duffs, the better.

Clearing RoB is a game of patience. And it's repetitive. And pointless. I strongly recommend the Mojito angle.

No damage taken, cleared.
Yes, but Asmo didn't play "live" - he paused every fraction of a second, issued commands, cautiously advanced at half speed & saved/restored thousands of times. While that in itself is a huge achievement, I preferred the Wolfpack films (pity there's none of this level) as they were played in real-time as a team.

I've no wish to disrespect your attempt, but am I right in thinking that one of the big differences TFL has to M2 is that TFL doesn't allow you to slow down to 1/4 play speed while you're playing?

There's no need to get to 1/4 speed in this level, so I didn't use that feature. But I'll have to admit it's hard to proof.

I've just cleared RoB online (Thanks Mariusnet!), but there were casualties aplenty. 223 of the 234 units killed. About 3hrs 30mins.

I'm confident I could do max. kills and no losses... But that would probably mean not using duffs at all... And where's the fun in that?
